Impact



Impact 8X8 Oil on Canvas $100


With this painting I used the same colors that I was using for the flowers. I rather like this combination so I am trying them on on various paintings.

Summer Garden

Summer Garden 12X10 Oil on Canvas $125

It's that time of year when I am constantly jumping out of my cards taking photos of flowers. Even at the hospital they have a glorious display of Echinacea. It will keep me cheerful in the rainy months of winter.

Just for You

Just for You 12"X10" Acrylic on Canvas

I painted this one for my niece Alene. I had done a similar painting which she loved. It sold before we had the discussion so here it is on canvas.

I enjoy doing these. They are fun, bold free and loose. I actually sat in Marion's hospital room working on this for hours yesterday while she slept. I was scratching away at it and worried that it would bother her. When she was finally awake she told me it helped her to sleep. So there you go. Paint with purpose and love all in the mix.

Manning Park

Manning Park 11"X11" Oil on Panel $100

We took two of our grandchildren camping last weekend. This is a field sketch from the campground. If you are familiar with the area it is the Mule Deer campground. It sits right on the river.

Let the Sunshine in




L



Let the Sunshine In 8X10 Oil on Canvas $100






I am back to painting again and thought this painting was a cheerful start. I do love color, warmth and texture. This painting would fit a standard frame.



I have taken this time off to be with my best friend and painting buddy while she has been in 3 different hospitals. She is now in the very best of the three (Abbotsford Palliative care unit) and when I visit we sometime sit and paint and plan and scheme for more painting. I am putting the link to her blogspot here

marionrosefineart.blogspot.com if you wish to look at some of her fabulous work.


Marion's spirit and strength is a great inspiration to me and as we move through this journey together I am sure that I will learn and grow in leaps and bounds.
